<p>In a recent article published by The Atlantic, author Derek Thompson does an excellent job explaining that employers often value your “experience” more so than they value your GPA, major, and/or relevant coursework.</p>https://careercenter.umich.edu/article/1-thing-employers-look-when-hiring-collegeMon, Sep 14 2015 - 10:25 amCareer Center - StudentsStudentsPersonalized University of Michigan Name Taghttps://careercenter.umich.edu/article/uofm-name-tag

<p><span style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;">While prepping for interviews, sometimes we forget that we, too, need to ask questions. Not only do you want to find out more about the position and employer, but you want to showcase your interest and the research you have done. Asking questions that can be found in the job description or on the website is not recommended. Find an article written about the company or grab a quote from the website and ask them how it relates to that particular position. Get clarification on the role, what kind of training you will be getting, and what will be expected of you 6 months into the job. While you may just be hoping to get hired, you need to show that the reason you are interested is not just because you need a job, but because you have a strong interest in working there. Additionally, if you ask the right questions, it will help you determine if the company is the right fit for you. Check out these 10 questions you should ask.</span></p>

<p>For many of you it's interview season. At this point you've proven you can present yourself through your resume and cover letter -- a chance at the job of your dreams is only a few more interactions away.</p>
<p>Interviews are designed for employers to find out if you are the right fit for the job as well as for you to find out if they're the right fit for you. If it is your first time in a professional job interview don't worry about nerves or anxiousness -- the feelings are normal if you have them. Plus they'll go away (or at least lesson in intensity) with practice.</p>https://careercenter.umich.edu/article/seniors-only-shredding-nervesThu, May 21 2015 - 3:24 pmCareer Center - StudentsStudentsFor Seniors Only: Making the Most of your Majorhttps://careercenter.umich.edu/article/seniors-only-making-most-your-major
<p>One of the most common concerns I see among students when they come in for peer advising is that they feel as if their major doesn't directly transfer to a real world job. This minor concern blossoms into a very real one for some seniors as they try and tackle the job market. They wonder: can I still get a job and is my less marketable major going to be a hinderance? The answer is a resounding no!</p>https://careercenter.umich.edu/article/seniors-only-making-most-your-majorThu, May 21 2015 - 3:24 pmCareer Center - StudentsStudentsFor Seniors Only: Scratching Your Itchhttps://careercenter.umich.edu/article/seniors-only-scratching-your-itch

<p>Use the following resources to become an expert at "networking":</p>
<div class="accordion">
<div>
<h4>Overview</h4>
<div>
<p>When you hear “You should be networking...” do you recoil and think:</p>
<ul><li>I don’t like 'Shmoozing'</li>
<li>I have to know someone and I don’t</li>
<li>I am not an extrovert</li>
<li>Add your excuse for not doing this very important job search activity HERE</li>
</ul><p>Let us reintroduce you this vital piece of your job search and rename it: <strong>Networking is Building Community</strong></p>
<p>It is a way to build a community of professionals that you know. The good news is that you do know people and we can help you figure out how to find more people. Building a professional community can help you in the following ways:</p>
<ul><li><strong>Career definition</strong>. Networking helps you to get to know who you are professionally and how your story connects to their work.</li>
<li><strong>Find the hidden job market</strong>. Did you know most jobs (about 80%) are not found from job postings? Many people know about potential openings that either have not been posted yet or have been posted in a place you did not look.</li>
<li><strong>Practice your interviewing skills</strong>. You can do this by talking to a professional about your professional interests without the pressure of a job interview.</li>
</ul><p><img alt="Informational graphic about Informational Interviews" src="https://careercenter.umich.edu/files/cc/Informational Interview UMICHCAREER.png" style="width: 600px; height: 860px;" /></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<h4>Prepare Your "Presentation"</h4>
<div>
<p>Getting Started: Prepare Your Presentation</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Develop a quick way (we’re talking 30 seconds here) to introduce yourself to someone. This is often called an Elevator Speech, or a 30-second commercial of who you are and what you'd like to do professionally. Your story should tell a logical path of your past experiences, including why you did them, culminating in why you reached out to the person.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Have business cards made to share with a contact. Did you know students can order FREE business cards from the Alumni Association?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Prepare a resume to share with the professionals you contact to provide background information and to get their advice. <a href="https://careercenter.umich.edu/article/resume-resources">Here's some of our own tips about resumes</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Make a list of questions that you want to ask a professional contact. You should plan to conduct the conversation when you meet or talk with a networking contact -- you are interviewing them for information about what they do and insights they may have to their job or profession. See the Informational Interview questions to help you get started. <a href="informational-interview-question-list">Here's our own list to get you started.</a></p>
</li>
</ul></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4>Identify People To Build Your Professional Community</h4>
<div>
<p><strong>Consider who you may already know:</strong></p>
<ul><li>List names of current and former colleagues, acquaintances from professional/campus organizations, and the business associates of family and friends.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Don’t forgot your personal network—neighbors, relatives, organizations, religious or community groups, clubs, or volunteer groups. Look to all generations for building a professional community.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Fill in the gaps by reconnecting with old acquaintances, getting involved in the committees of your favorite organization, or volunteering.</li>
</ul><ul><li>And don't forget U-M alumni! Use <strong><a href="https://umich.peoplegrove.com/">UCAN</a> </strong>(our new University Career Alumni Network) to search and connect with U-M alumni who have volunteered to chat with current students about all things career-related!</li>

<p>There are many reasons why PhDs pursue non-academic positions. For some, the current academic job market dictates conducting searches both in and outside academe. For others, they decide the tenure track job process is not for them. Regardless of the reason, there are several things to think about when exploring and executing a non-academic search.</p>

<p>Academic interviewing is generally broken out into three types. This does not necessarily mean you will engage in all three in every interview, but being aware of and preparing for all three is valuable. </p>
<p><strong>Conference/Convention/Meeting Interviews </strong></p>
<p>Generally these short (1/2 hour) interviews are vetting opportunities for faculty to choose candidates to advance to on campus interviews. Several faculty usually participate with an emphasis placed on one or more faculty in your discipline/sub discipline. Participating in conference interviews can be tiring for you and faculty so take breaks, bring good energy to each interview, and remember you and they are assessing your fit for their department and institution. Typical questions in the conference interview may include:</p>
<ul><li>
Tell us about your dissertation</li>
<li>
What do you want to teach?</li>
<li>
Where direction do you expect your work to take?</li>

Do you have questions for us?</li>

<p>Each discipline has its own nuances to CV design and content. Ask junior faculty, postdocs, or recent alums if you can take a look at their CVs. Engage your advisor on what may be common in your field or what he/she looks for in a CV when they sit on a hiring committee. </p>

<h4>Prospective PSIP Participants</h4>
<div>
<p>Thinking about applying to the University Career Center's Public Service Intern Program (PSIP)?</p>
<p><strong>Here's what you need to know:</strong></p>
<p>PSIP is a competitive program. Each year, more applicants apply than are admitted. We are looking for students willing to make a firm commitment to obtaining a public service internship in Washington DC by attending meetings, completing assignments, participating in office hours, researching internships, gaining career &amp; job search skills, and building community with fellow PSIPers in both Ann Arbor and DC.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The application process contains two parts. First, a written application is collected. Second, applications are reviewed by staff and interview decisions are made. Applicants selected to interview will engage in their interviews in the University Career Center with PSIP alums. In both aspects of the application process, we are looking for demonstrated interest in public service and a commitment to obtaining an internship in Washington DC, a willingness to follow instructions, a desire to be part of the PSIP community, and enthusiasm for PSIP. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are looking for students who will be exceptional interns – strongly and positively representing the University and PSIP in DC.</p>

<h4>PSIP Frequently Asked Questions</h4>
<div>
<p><strong>Can I participate in PSIP if I am planning to study abroad?</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, because PSIP runs seminar meetings throughout the Fall and Winter semesters, we cannot accommodate students who will be abroad during that time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>How many students do you admit each year?</strong></p>
<p>The number of students selected is largely determined by the number and strength of received applications. While there is no pre-set number of participants, generally anywhere from 80 to 100 students are selected. While sophomores and juniors typically comprise the majority of participants, first year students and seniors are welcome to apply.</p>
